My Oak Bay Arts Alive 2025 sculpture: Baba Yaga Little Free Library. I plan to stock it with banned books, stop by and find something they don't want you to read! It is in Oak Bay at the corner of Newport Avenue and Windsor Road.

Would appreciate a RT from the scientists for this one! We have 665 scientists in the spring database and I want to get us to about 1000 before we set the teachers loose on the database for January matches.

Cameroceras, an extinct cephalopod genus related to the pearly nautilus. This is a baby! Fossilized shells have been found that are 2 metres long, putting the total length to 4 metres! #metalsculpture #sciart #paleoart #sculpture #cephalopod #cameroceras

Humboldt squid (Dosidicus gigas), also referred to as diablo rojo or Red Devil. They are members of the flying squid family and will fly out of the water to escape predators. This one is aptly made from scrap aircraft parts! #squid #Humboldt #metalart #sculpture #cephalopod
